Creation Science Book Review

Grand Canyon: Monument to Catastrophe

Chapter 10: Early Peoples of the Southwest

This chapter
is more or less irrelevant to the formation of the Grand Canyon, although it
is interesting reading. The authors present it in order to give their
creation science model
some support from flood legends of the Native Americans. They do this
because the science they propose for the canyon is weak, and they seek to
appeal to the emotions of the reader, hoping to lend credibility to their
work from these flood tales.

However,
since you can’t explain the Grand Canyon as being the product of the Global
Flood and subsequent post-flood erosion, these stories have no bearing on the creation
of the canyon. In short, I prefer to look to the hard evidence that we see
in the rock record, rather than to the fairy tales of men, to explain the
Grand Canyon.

Am I saying
these fairy tales are false…no. I’m merely saying it is not good science to
use them to explain the Grand Canyon.

If you are not a
Christian, and you have been holding out on making a decision for
Christ because the Church always preached a message that was
contrary to what you saw in the scientific world, then rest assured
that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and you can believe in
Christ and receive salvation, while still believing in an old earth.
